It was getting late. so I had to go down wif my bike first to help them rent..
But it was so freaking dark..then got these weird sounds everywhere...
At first I didn't know what was it. Then I rode past a drain, and theres a freaking huge sound. Nabei scared the shit out of me...
Turned out to be frogs. Like alot of them all around the park croaking...
Then so freakign dark, until I couldn't see the road was flooded...so just rode through la.. KNS
Rode through half-way, water up to my knee already, and the bike got caught in the mud....
So detour around, heng the shop haven close...
So the guys got their bike...then slacked around awhile before going out to cycle. But damn unlucky la...at first Yik Jiun bike leaking air, so wanted to go petrol station. Then on our way there I think I rode over a pin or something. Fuking tire puncture...
zZz. No choice lo...have to turn back. Then the 3 of them rode on.
Feels stupid pushing a bike lol...
So went back to the room, play mahjong lo...
Play whole night sia..until like 6.30am...
Then they all went to sleep...so I went home also lo...push the bloody bike home again...
Reached home...ask maid to go buy mac. By the time she return I was already asleep in bed lol..
Woke up eat, then go back to bed...woke up abt 11am.
Then headed back to chalet....went ehub arcade awhile...

Random...
Was msging claudia just now and she told me...
You dont need that many friends, only a few good ones.
Well I say...
Sometimes, having no friends might be the best solution to many things.
Haiya dont know why I am in this mood...ok, mayb I do know why, but I'm definitely not revealing it here...
K i better snap out of it...last paper tomorrow...can't let it affect my performance....
One important advice to life, which I think it's so true...
You're responsible for your own life.
Don't expect your friends or family to help u out, or help u make a choice.

Don't come and irritate me. What u find funny, I find it irritating.
As always, better to keep problems to myself....haix
Though it would be good to have someone to talk to
But life ain't perfect. Accepted that long ago, so I have no right to complain.

Singapore dont own it's citizens an tertiary education!
Been reading EDMW just now, and stumbled upon the thread of universities admissions, with a newspaper report stating that 50% of students who qualify for a local university gets at least 1 offer, and FT admissions are capped at 20%.
Of course such a topic will generate many comments and debates la...partly due to the vagueness of the article.
Well I think that qualifying, does not mean getting all passes for A levels, or a 3.3 GPA for poly?
I think qualifying in a sense, is based on the overall cohort of the year?
Which means for last year cohort, qualifying would probably mean straight B's for JC, and a GPA of 3.5 for polys.
After that, people directed their attention to what happens to the other 50%.
Most would say they went overseas, or private unis.
Therefore people once again asked, why should these locals be denied a place in their country university and that place be given by to a foreigner?
One guy commented that university admissions is a zero-sum game, 1 more place to foreigner equates to 1 less place for locals in the universities.
That brings me to my next point...
The country has no obligation to provide tertiary education for the masses.
And the government knows it. Why you may ask? Isn't it better for a country to have many uni grads?
Well think again.
Universities are considered the highest educational institutions in a country. Thus, it would make sense that only the cream of the crop of the population would be able to enter an univerisity. Furthermore, the appeal of an uni grad, is because they are in short supply, thus employers have an incentive to hire them.( Ok though that is now changing, and may soon be an invalid argument)
Thus, if university admission is open to the masses, with the suddent influx of degree holders, the value of the degree in Singapore would drop. Afterall, whats the difference bewteen u and the other guy with the same degree?
Thus this would lead to overqualification of our workforce, and blue-collared jobs would be left un-filled.
I am sure some people will view what I jsut said as elitism rite?
Wake up people. Call it elitism if you want, but those are reality.
Want to get into university? Jolly well work your butts off, and get your results.
Having a GPA of less than 3.5 is not acceptable for university btw, if your wondering. So I dont see a reason why all these people should be whining about FT taking up slots in the universities.
If the FTs are more capable than you, I don't see a need to give you a place just because you're a Singaporean, while he's frm PRC.
Isn't that how way things work in the workforce as well.
So it's better now to wake up and realize this.

Nonsensical Peitition against SBS fares for poly students
Eh sure that most of u heard about the recent peition in a bid to lower fares for poly students.
On the basis that both poly and jc students are around the same age, and therefore the poly students ought to have bus fares rivalling that of the jc student, which is 45 cent per bus trip.
I mean what a groundless argument. So what if they are the same age as jc students? It doesnt mean that they should pay the same price as a jc student, because of one and only 1 argument.
The way the institutes are classified.
JCs,secondary schools and ITEs are classified under secondary institutes. Thus they are eligible for transport concession.
On the other hand, Polys and Universities are classified under tertiary institutes.
Therefore, since polys and jcs belong to different categories, isn't it fair that they have different fares for buses? Take the universities for examples. They do not have concessions as well. But do they make a big fuss about it?
No.
Why>
Because they know that they are receiving education of a higher order, just like the polytechnics.
Lets face it, a poly diploma is far more valuable than an A lvl cert.
Although the A lvl cert is what gets you to the university and at that time, your degree will be worth more than a poly diploma.
See how this works??
If still not convinced, look at the school fees between JCs and Polytechnics.
Why are polytechnics fees much higher than the JCs?
Thats because the type of education they are receiving are much more advance, thus being called a tertiary institute. Since you're learning higher order skills, isn't it common sense that your lecturers and tutors will be paid higher? Thus the polytechnics course fees are so expensive.
Ok enough debating haha...conclusion : If u opt to go to a poly, then be prepared to pay higher transportation fees, as polytechnics are offering u skills that are far more useful compared to a JC, and the argument that transport fares need to be based on age does not even stand, because every one has different learning abilities, some slower, some faster. Thus computing transportation fares on ages alone is not viable.

I hope so...haha.
Ok down to 4 papers spread over 2 weeks.
Next week theres physics paper2 and econs paper1.

Haha not bad I guess?
Some questions left me going huh? But most were manageable..
Quite certain of mayb a B at least?
With the A still very much up for grabs....

Shagged
Omg....super exhausted today...
Wah lao 3 hours maths and 2 hours physics paper...really damn exhausting
Anyway, physics was kinda unexpected..found it rather straightforward?
Haha not as mentally draining as I thought it would be...
Then came maths...omg was doing the paper, feeling happy...coz the paper was easy..
But reach question 7, then started to feel super shagged and drained...sumore the tougher questions were all behind...
Lolx. Maths was indeed a challenge...but a B for paper 1 should b attainable?
So targets so far are:
B for maths
B for physics
=)
Tomorrow computing...haha time to get down to studying...still feeling super drained ><

I just realized I didn't write topic sentences in my essay...or at least I didn't explictedly thought of a topic sentence for my arguments...hmm but I think my essay should be clear enough to convey my thoughts...
Cheers to McLaren and Lewis Hamilton!!
Ahahaha woke up earlier than usual to check results..
And omg lewis won!!! By such a nail biting last turn also omg...
Full results...
Kinda sad for DC though..last race and got out in accident...
Ok enough of f1...
GCE A Level General Paper 8806
Lets see...I think I performed reasonably well?
Haha quite pleased with my essay...
I think a solid B should be possible? with an A still in sight...
But alot ppl said the paper was hard...so that left me thinking...
Did I fumble on something and still not notice it?
Been thinking about that on the bus, and I concluded that my essay should be fine...
But I given my best, and I am expecting a B at least...below that and I'll be quite disappointed,,
Next up physics and maths...all the best sia...
